Hello,
I tried to use git but it was not installed, I installed it with urpmi git ans
urpmi git-core
but when I type :
# git clone git://crules.org:gcc-dev.git
I get this error:
Initialized empty Git repository in /export/home/charfi/gcc-dev/.git/
fatal: Unable to look up (port 9418) (Name or service not known)
any idea ?
thanks
Asma

Most front-ends will Generate GENERIC which is the tree type you will
see alot of. My frontend requires a more highlevel IR which i bring
down to GENERIC much like GCCGO.

look at do_compile at gcc/toplev.c line 2319 i think, its responsible
for calling all the necessary langhooks.

Are you asking is the IR generated the same as the C-front-end? Answer
anything that uses the GENERIC IR is the same IR the C front-end uses.

You may want to clone this git repo:
$ git clone git://crules.org:gcc-dev.git # i think the git daemon
should be running else let me know
$ git checkout -t -b documentation origin/documentation
And look at gcc/gcalc a front-end Andi put together its a basic
front-end showing how you can use GCC as a backend to a calculator its
nearly complete and its very well written it should show you everthing
you need to know for a stock front-end.

These GTY markers are for the gentype which generates code for the
garbage collector within gcc so it understands structures and so you
can use them within some vectors in GCC or other data structures.
These functions are simply boiler plate functions the compiler driver
requires to be able to call the compiler proper i think and are the
same in most front-ends most people should have no need to play with
them.
Hope this helps!
